The set-up for Escape from New York is so perfect. Manhattan Island is now a prison, run by the prisoners and a freak event causes the President of the United States to crash-land Air Force One right in the middle. … Continue reading Escape from New York (1981) Review
I review a whole season rather than individual episodes, so there is a chance of spoilers. If you haven’t watched the whole season yet, stop reading now! When your main character is a villain, the only way to keep the stories interesting … Continue reading House of Cards (Season 4) TV Review
I hate the thought of remakes for no reason than to cash-in on a previous movie’s success. Recent examples would be Point Break, Robocop and although not released yet, you arguably Ghostbusters.

With The Avengers: Age of Ultron proving expanded cinema franchises are a success, a lot of other movies are following suit. Star Wars is set to use the same model to bring at least one new movie a year, Ghostbusters will … Continue reading My ideas for new Expanded Cinema Franchises
It is some feat that Neill Blomkamp has managed to create a modern, lovable robot that will rival even the droids from Star Wars. Chappie is adorable, cute and will have audiences both laughing and crying in equal measure as he … Continue reading Chappie (2015) Review
